Never call yourself a hacker. To non-tech people "hacker" has the meaning of "illegally hacks into computers".

True, but if he's looking for contracting work hopefully his CV will be in the hands of an engineer rather than a hiring manager/HR.

Engineers only very rarely make decisions about contractors. If you're trying to do this stuff, you need to talk to managers.
